Not sure they can afford that. Mitchell would lose a lot of ceredibilty. Its a very bad showing.

 

Only amongst the lobotomised.

No the media will be all over it.

Rather read the unhinged disappointment comments of posters than the deluded copium from others.

If he gets a bad injury Palace have well and truely fucked themselves. 
 

Wouldn’t wish that on him tho 

They’ve only fucked themselves if they want to sell - they clearly don’t.

Just hijack the Lacroix deal and be done with it.

[Ikon]

My feeling is that Guehi is the shiny toy Howe wants, and he won’t be happy with any of the other ones on the shelves. Seriously though, I’m just saying this because I see quite a few blaming Eales and PM here and there. Having said that, I’d be shocked if PM didn’t have quite a few options as alternatives. Not looking very promising as of now on the whole.

To hell with all this.

Silver lining....

Once the PSR moves on a year does that mean we have lost the first season splurge and spent the minimum the next two? 

[SUPERTOON]

Still think spending weeks negotiating to then pay the full asking price would be a worse look than missing out. I really hope we have walked away.

Think he wants to play for Glasner 

[Mazzy]

In fairness we could get beaten tomorrow and if we then sign Guehi it'll not matter that he's cup tied anyway.

Think so. And we’ll have the income from the players who will want to leave next year after we toil to 8th-10th and no Europe. 

[mondonewc]

What a truly absurd situation we've allowed ourselves to get into where probably over half the fanbase are seething over what would be a club record purchase. 

 

Some people are clearly losing their heads but there's also certainly valid criticism over how this deal seems to have been handled, lessons need to be learned by those responsible, and fast! Palace have done as is their right, but, seem to have completely took the piss out of us here, optically it looks very poor on our side.

No, because spending is spresd over up to 5 years.

First of all, we don't even know that we have £60m to spend (or, more accurately, approx. £18-20m in costs to add) without growing revenue or reducing costs later.

 

But if we assume we do have that much to spend with no strings attached then we have until June 30, 2025 to spend it so that just feels like a bad faith argument. I can understand wanting it to be used to improve the team for this season and the associated frustration, but "won't spend" harkens back to Ashley and it's quite clear that's not what's going on here.

It's not clear though is it. It screams of couldn't get the deal over the line. We've been there and done that. It's poor man.

Sorry I meant losses up to 180 million that everton got done for?

It’s in the context If he gets a bad injury then they’ve lost out on £70m on a player that’s out months injured with his contract running down 

[Menace]

There was absolutely no reason for them to cup tie a player if he's about to be sold. If we still go ahead with it after they've took the piss multiple times - we are fucking mugs.

Ffs  I’ve made one and it’s close as we’ve came 

[The Prophet]

It's a standard negotiating time frame for such a large deal, but it's very unusual for it to be so public. That's what has made it feel like a drag.

[black_n_white]

Zero chance this transfer goes ahead now

[McCormick]

Sick of Crystal Parish now, like. God/Dave, if you’re reading this; cancel that whole “ending world hunger” wish, I’ve changed my mind. Send Palace and that smug twat down to the Championship please. And give him a micropenis.
